A League of Extraordinary Letters
April 20, 2024
The year is 2020, and we’re all stuck at home. Craving connection, Traverse City artist Heather Spooner starts a pen pal program for adults around the globe to stave off the isolation and loneliness. Fast-forward to 2024, and those letters have inspired the new documentary The Letter League. The film shares the beautiful stories between pen pals, and if Spooner has her way, will “inspire a pen pal, letter-writing revolution.” Catch the Michigan premiere of The Letter League on April 27 at Milliken Auditorium in TC at 6:30pm, followed by a Q&A with the crew. “Hosting an event that brings the community together over the topic of genuine human connection is the stuff dreams are made of, for me,” Spooner says of the event. Tickets start at $5. Learn more at ampersandletteringlab.com/store/the-letter-league-film-michigan-premiere.
